CONSIDERING THE COERCION BILL.
LONDON, May 1.-THE House of Com
mons this evening resumed consideration in
committee of the coercion bill Peter Nc
Donald, Nationalist member from North
Sligo, moved the adoption of an amend
ment to the effect that the evidence of wit
nesses at parliamentary inquiries should not
be adduced against them except in case of
perjury.
Mr.. Balfour, Chief Secretary for Ireland.
opposed the adoption of such an amend
ment because, he said, the clause as it stood
was necessary to induce witnesses to give
evidence.
that the clause as it stood was most seri-
Gus innovation in criminal law.
MIR. Healy said that in opposing the gov
ernmentS proposals the Irish party were
fighting for one of the oldest principles of
English jurisprudence.
W. H. Smith, First Lord of the Treasury,
insisted that the committee divide. Amid
cries of ''shame, ''monstrous," ETC., cloture
was put and carried by a vote of 265 against
1872
Mr.. Parnell has left Avondale and will ar

GLADSTONE AT A DINNER.
Mr.. Gladstone was present at luncheon
given to-day to forty non-conformist minis
ters at the residence of DR.. Parker, of the
City Temple. He made an address of an
hours length. The subject of the whole dis
course was Ireland. He said there never
had been any reason for charging the Par
nellites with completely in Irish crime Six
years ago, while Prime Minister, he had de-
nounced the Parnellites as dangerous. That
was totally different from charging them
with crime The present utterances of Maj
Saunderson, Lord Randolph Churchill, and
even of Lord Salisbury, were more danger
Gus than any utterances the PaTnellites had
ever made. Mr. Gladstone held that the
alliance between the Liberals and Palnell-
ties was a perfectly open one and one
that had been brought about by community
of belief. 1t compared favorably with the
alliance between Conservatives and Irish in
1881 and 1885 The coercion bill was an in
sidious attack on the press The measure
was designed to create new offenses. 1t was
dishonoring and disgracing bill. In con-
clusion Mr.. Gladstone vehemently denounced
the governments attitude on the Times
charges against the Irish members, and said
prosecution Of the Times by the Crown
would be a horrible farce.
1t is reported that the government, acting
on information from secret agents in New
York has sent the cutter Orwell to Carriga-
holt, Ireland, to watch for an American
vessel with a cargo of arms and explosives.
DILLoN's NEW PLAN.
DUBLIN, May 11.-At meeting last night
of the Irish National League Mr. Dillon
said he had clearly in his mind line of
policy for the people of Ireland which he
would produce at the proper moment and
knock the bottom out Of the coercion bill
When the coercion bill was passed the land
lords would find that the plan of campaign
would continue without the slightest inter
ruption or inconvenience His proposed
policy would involve neither crime nor vio-
lent resistance of the law, but was system
of combination so perfect and the people
would be induced to act 50 loyalty toward
each other that they would not revert to
crime and outrage.
At Leitrim to-day twenty tenants who
had adopted the plan of campaign and who
had been evicted were admitted to the
